'''570 Lexington Avenue''' (also known as the '''General Electric Building''' and the '''RCA Victor Building''') is a gorgeous art deco skyscraper located at the southeast corner of Lexington Avenue and 51st Street. Completed in [[1931]], the building was briefly owned by Columbia in the late 1990s.

General Electric deeded 570 Lexington Avenue to Columbia as a gift in 1993 because it wasn't making enough money in rent to cover expenses. This wasn't the first time Columbia had been [[Upper Estate|deeded property that lost money]]. Columbia formed a joint venture with real estate mogul Bernard Mendik and renovated the building. Mendik bought Columbia out in 2001. The site was briefly considered as a home for the [[Columbia Club]].
